There is an easy solution in 100 years. You simply adjust your timezone. Something we already have the capability to do. We already tolerate hour deviations from noon.
Think of it more like that the arbitrarily zero time point on the globe moves 1 hour west. But we keep longitude fixed.
The only weird thing is more places will go to +13 and some to +14. But that’s all relative.


Wow. I can’t believe this still exists.

I wish there was a way to truly punish clickbait.
So just make a single shift in the next few hundred years when it has gotten bad enough to warent it.
Say we are an hour behind local noon, shift your timezone +1 hour and leave it. You don’t even need to get the world to agree, each area is free to set their own relative time.
Sure the UTC noon will be somewhere west of Greenwich, but who cares. That was always an arbitrary point.
